The Oppressed Peoples of Chumptown is a fledgling, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million Chumptownians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The weak Chumptownian economy, worth 118 billion Chinoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,643 Chinoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, elections have been outlawed, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chumptown's national animal is the Sea Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
